What an insulting crock of supercilious garbage you write to this lady. Your arrogance toward her generation is manifested in your attacks which reference absolutely nothing she either stated or implied. Where did she claim that her generation was "pristine?"
"Your 1950s malt shop doo waa pristine memories are nostalgic crap," you say. Where did she express that idea? She was speaking about what she sees as an erosion in our respect for the Constitution.
However, she may not have been talking about the culture, but I will. That way at least your anger toward all things Leave it to Beaver will be directed toward a more proper target. Because for decades now, every generation is right to recognize that the succeeding one into which they have survived is more degraded than the one before.
Now admittedly this is all subjective and will be difficult to debate. I mean, how can I PROVE that Howard Stern is more decadent than Arthur Godfrey, or that Lady Gaga is less healthy for ten year-olds to watch than Ann Margaret? I can't. OK, never mind. No debate.
I'm tempted to say that your disrespectful post itself is proof of my point. But how can I prove that "respect for your elders" is even a good thing? I can't.
